e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
h) Only allow trained personnel to use the power
tool.
Apprentices may only operate the power tool
when they are aged over 16, when this is
necessary for their training and when they are
supervised by a trained operative.
4.) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off correctly.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools carefully. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage or damage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired by a qualified expert before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
g) Secure the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This
is safer than holding it with your hand, and also it
frees both hands to operate the equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner specified for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation. All unauthorized modifications to the
power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
5.) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions and
instructions on tool replacements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly and
have it replaced by a qualified expert in case of
damage.
